Neverending Nightmares Makes Its Kickstarter Goal

Gilgenbach is understandably excited about the game reaching its goal and offered the following statement:

I’m
overjoyed that we raised the funds to make Neverending Nightmares
happen. We have such an amazing community of dedicated backers that
worked as hard as I did to make this game possible. It is truly
remarkable that even though we only had 2/3rds of our budget a few days
ago, we were able to exceed our funding goal with time to spare. I want
to thank each and every backer for believing in the project!

Original story:

It came down to the wire with less than 10 hours to spare, but Neverending Nightmares has now achieved and surpassed its Kickstarter goal.

The game was seeking $99,000 in pledges, and with six hours to go, the game currently has $100,273 in backer money.

Neverending Nightmares comes from the same minds that created the rhythm shooter Retro/Grade, but Neverending Nightmares is a much different game. Based on creator Matt Gilgenbach's battles with depression, Neverending Nightmares seeks to create a disturbing psychological experience.

Our TakeNeverending Nightmares looks like a new take on the horror video game experience. I'm happy to see Neverending Nightmares achieve its funding goal, and I am looking forward to checking out the final game.

I feel bad...well, not really. I didnt back the project, because I'm not a fan of Kickstarter in general (paying for sth. thats not done yet), but I really hoped that the project will be funded after watching parts of the demo. Will pay for it, when it's done.

The drama these past couple hours has been nuts. A guy accidentally backed $9,500 instead of $95, then was slowly able to reduce it as it got closer to $99k (you can't reduce your pledge in the last 24 hours to below the funding goal if it's technically been funded).
So then a dude pledged a couple thousand to bail out the kid that made that mistake, and then the community kept backing more to bail out the dude that helped the first kid... good lord, man.
